Hip Hop In The Slopes, You need to Be Apart of It, Evolution Baby!

Hey! What’s good you guys? Its your boy Ghost. I want you to be apart of something unprecedented, something that is going to shake the hip hop scene and ski scene and twist them into one – A hip hop tour on the slopes.

First and foremost, I’m a skier. It’s in my blood. I’m a skier tapping into the hip hop industry. I am using everything I have learned from skiing and applying it to music.
Never giving up no matter how many times you get knocked down, staying focused, hungry, driven, and keeping the true love alive.

Skiing is an art, hip hop is an art, so it only made sense to bring them together.

Right now, my manager Twist and I are working on bringing an unparalleled hip hop tour to the slopes.. Bringing some major hip hop artists alongside with me on stage while you guys rock the slopes. The tour is set to kick off this season, and so far the locations are Lake Tahoe (and Surrounding areas), Reno, and Mammoth. From November – December.

If you know anyone who’d be interested in getting involved or interested in investing in the event – Or ANYONE who could help promote/advertise/street team/ radio/ websites/

connect us with contact info for clothing companies/ event coordinators/ competition coordinators/ companies, or individuals who would be willing to sponsor the event/ djs/ other artists who’d like to get on board, as well as anyone who could help this movement. Let me know ASAP.

Also, throw me some names of some artists you’d like to see on your slopes this year and if promising we definitely could be adding your resort to the lineup.

Check out my music. Add me on myspace. And hit me up! Let’s make this event happen. Let’s make History!

Also check out some of the beats I produced over at
www.soundclick.com/ghostreborn

I owe everything to you, my NS Fam and friends. You have been there for me since the beginning.

Humbly, Ghost

I'm all for crossing racial and stereotype boundaries but skiing is probably third behind golf and polo for the whitest, yuppiest sports on earth. But hey, props for challenging that image. Im just thinking you'll have a hard time getting any serious acts behind it. I think the official sport of hip hop is getting drunk, crashing ferraris, and fathering illegitimate children. At least thats what the lyrics tell me.

the idea is sick, but hip hop is only a fad. Everyone will grow tired of it in a few years. A new fad will start and everyone will claim its the best thing.

I prefer punk on my slopes

I'm totally down for making more stops to your area! Let me know where you at. Go to my myspace page. www.myspace.com/ghost209 .

Demand me [there's a button for it] and if there's enough people out in your area demanding me, I'll forward it to my manager and we'll bring the tour out!

Thanks for all the support and ideas you guys. keep bringing them in.

that would be sick.
and music is not something that should be categorized by race. If we did that, then rock would still be completely dominated by the african american community. hip hop shouldnt be something for only people of a certain race. just because a lot of ppl now still use it as a way to promote negative stereotypes such as hard drug use, gangs, and objectifying women, which in turn finds ways to separate people. there is also a lot of hip-hop that goes against that which is more positive and does not try to put people of different color or belief in their own isolated impenetrable field away from everyone else.

who the fuck are you to pin hip-hop on to skiing. 

maybe there are some that don't listen to hip-hop and don't want to be identified with it because they ski.

what if i came along and started a death metal tour mixed with skiing.  no body would want it.

get the fuck outta here.

What the hell man? That was totally uncalled for. It may not be your thing to see hip hop and skiing as intertwined, but there are some of us that do. It's a good thing that an influential individual in the hip hop scene has taken the initiative to get skiing some more exposure. Don't let it get to your head. If you its not your thing, then take waht is, and get creative
